Metolong dam environmental and social impact assessment : final resettlement plan - annex to the resettlement plan
Beck, Thorsten
This report concerns the Metolong dam environmental and social impact assessment for the Second Water Sector Improvement Project in Lesotho. Some of the negative impacts of the project are: loss of land and other privately-owned assets; loss of community assets; impacts on subsistence/livelihoods and income-earning capacity; impacts on movement across the Phuthiatsana River at the site of the proposed Metolong Reservoir; and collective adverse impacts on groups/social categories who because of their social position may be vulnerable to changes brought about by project activities, or who may be excluded from its associated benefits. Mitigation measures of the project are: 1) relocation and land acquisition will be avoided or minimized; 2) all project impacts will be identified and all losses properly recorded; 3) ongoing and meaningful consultation will occur with project-affected persons and communities; 4) affected persons will be assisted to improve their livelihoods; 5) vulnerable groups and severely project-affected persons will be specifically catered for; 6) land acquisition/relocation planning, budgeting and implementation will be an integral part of the project; and 7) grievance and monitoring procedures will be in place.
